Chapter Seventy-Eight: Lying
With the guidance and advice of Lu Qingyu, the "dog-headed military advisor", Lu Qinghuan seemed to rekindle his fighting spirit, and the two brothers drank all the beer in the refrigerator in the apartment, and then staggered to sleep on the sofa and the floor.
When Lu Qinghuan woke up, he found that Lu Qingyu was lying on the floor with an empty wine bottle, with no image at all, and he was still snoring slightly.
He had no choice but to drag the sleeping Lu Qingyu to the sofa, took away the wine bottle in his arms, went to the bedroom to get a quilt for him to cover, and then went to wash his face before leaving.
Along the way, Lu Qinghuan was hesitant to call Ran Xixi again and ask her to have dinner together.
But her attitude made him a little timid, a man who had never been rejected in the opposite sex, but because of her frequent rejection, he had deep doubts about himself, I have to say that Ran Xixi's skills are still too strong, so strong that Lu Qinghuan has no confidence.
Even so, Lu Qinghuan still dialed Ran Xixi's mobile phone number, and plugged his headphones while driving.
While waiting for answers, his fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, and he was as nervous as a hairy boy, wanting to hear her voice immediately, but also afraid that he would say something after she picked it up.
was hesitating, Ran Xixi's voice had already come from the phone: "What's wrong,"
Lu Qinghuan steadied himself, and then he spoke: "What's wrong, I just want to ask if you have eaten." ”
Ran Xixi looked at the steaming instant noodles in front of him and said with a smile: "Well, I ate, I'm eating with my friends." ”
This lie was a little sad, but she really didn't want to go out, and she didn't even bother to go to the restaurant downstairs in the hotel, preferring to nestle in her room and eat instant noodles. And, for someone who doesn't eat instant noodles regularly, a bowl of fragrant instant noodles is sometimes a rare delicacy.
For Ran Xixi, it is exactly like this, the taste of sour and hot beef, her favorite.
"That's it, then you eat, I'll hang up first. ”
Although Lu Qinghuan was a little curious about who the "friend" she was talking about, he finally didn't ask the bottom of the matter and quickly hung up the phone.
Ran Xixi breathed a sigh of relief, put down her phone, and picked up instant noodles with a fork, but she didn't expect that just after two bites, her phone rang again.
She picked it up helplessly, and when she saw that it was a landline number, the local area code, she hesitated a little, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and always felt that this number seemed a little familiar.
The bell kept ringing, and she had to answer it.
"Hey. ”
No one answered her.
Maybe it's a prank, some children are bored at home, so they will use the home phone to dial randomly, either not talking, or yelling, or even calling 120, 110 and the like.
"If you don't speak, I'll hang up. ”
After Ran Xixi finished saying this, he lowered his head and took a sip of instant noodles, and rolled his eyes towards the sky.
There is still no sound, and it looks like it is really a prank.
"It's so boring, I hung up. ”
She was about to hang up after speaking, but at this moment, a thin voice came from the phone, "Hee-hee, he-hee"
Ran Xixi shook violently, and immediately put his phone close to his phone to make sure that he was not hallucinating.
Sure enough, there was someone on the other end of the spectrum talking, but only quietly.
"Hee-hee, hee-hee. ”
Seeing that she didn't speak, her voice seemed to be louder and more anxious, as if she was afraid that she was really going to hang up.
"Isn't it Rui Rui?"
Ran Xixi vaguely guessed that this voice should belong to Zhan Ruijue, she was surprised to put the phone in front of her again, looked at the caller number again, and then remembered, no wonder she felt a little familiar just now, and at this moment she reacted, this landline number is clearly the number of Zhan Xingchuan's family.
It's just that now everyone has a mobile phone, and the landline has almost become a chicken rib, and most families use it to handle the Internet, and few people use the landline to make calls anymore. So, after she got married, she didn't bother to remember her home phone number, and she never used it.
As soon as he heard that Ran Xixi really recognized his voice, Zhan Ruijue seemed to be happy, he grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly: "Hee-hee, he-hee." ”
Anyway, it's those two words over and over again.
Ran Xixi pushed the instant noodles aside and hurriedly asked, "What are you looking for me to do?"
After thinking about it, she realized that it was impossible for Zhan Ruijue to say anything to herself, so she changed her words again: "Who is next to you now, if you don't want to say it, let him tell me." ”
It worked.
There was silence for a while, and suddenly Sister Li's voice came, she seemed to be surprised, picked up the microphone, and asked tentatively, "Hey, may I ask who it is?"
Obviously, Zhan Ruijue's call to Ran Xixi was done secretly, and even Sister Li didn't know about it.
Ran Xixi also hesitated, and asked also tentatively: "Yes, is it Sister Li, we met in the hospital before, I am that woman"
She was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to introduce herself.
Sister Li immediately reacted and said in surprise: "Ah, you are that and that"
She probably didn't know what to call Ran Xixi, she stammered for a long time, and she couldn't say why.
Ran Xixi reacted and quickly asked, "Why did Rui Rui call me?"
Sister Li glanced at Zhan Ruijue standing beside her, he was holding his head high, squeezing his eyes at her, with a begging expression on his face, seeing that she didn't speak, he actually folded his hands and arched his hands.
"Ah, that's, that's right. ”
Sister Li was embarrassed to weave a lie in her heart, thinking about it, she turned her heart sideways and said: "That's the case, Mr. Zhan and Miss Yu's mobile phones can't get through, my legs are also a little painful, and I can't go out, but Rui Rui has to eat cakes, the business of that store is good, and people don't give them away." No, he's been messing with me all afternoon, and he's still losing his temper, and he won't eat dinner. I didn't expect him to call you, and in my opinion, this kid must like you very much."
After hearing her say this big thing, the little guy next to him suddenly smiled.
Sister Li pretended to be angry and glared at him.
Zhan Ruijue immediately put his face on her legs, blew a few breaths, and reached out to rub them a few times, meaning to please her, hoping that her legs would get better soon.
Seeing this, Sister Li's heart suddenly softened, and she didn't regret helping him lie at all.
Not only that, seeing that Ran Xixi didn't speak immediately, she also cautiously asked: "Can I trouble you to do me a favor, I know, this is a bit difficult for a strong man, but Rui Rui doesn't eat, he can't take medicine on an empty stomach, and the hot little head is not good."
This sentence is a killer feature, and it is full of power.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ran Xixi frowned slightly, and asked softly, "What kind of cake is it?"
Sister Li saw that there was a play, and immediately told her the name and address of the store, as well as the kind of cheesecake that Zhan Ruijue likes to eat, and so on.
Zhan Ruijue climbed onto the sofa, tilted his head, and listened with straight ears.
Ran Xixi heard her say so much, although she cared about Zhan Ruijue, she was still a little hesitant.
Her hesitation was that she didn't want to see Zhan Xingchuan.
"That, are you afraid that Mr. Zhan will come back, no, he usually rarely comes back to live, and sometimes he comes back in the middle of the night, besides, he and Miss Yu's mobile phones can't get through, maybe the two of them are together, and they won't come back early." You come to play at home, I'll make soup for you to drink, it's very replenishing. ”
Sister Li's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense has grown a little more, and the more she speaks, the more fluent she becomes. She didn't call Zhan Xingchuan and Yu Youwei at all, and she didn't know where the two of them were now. However, according to the usual practice, they really wouldn't come, and she really didn't lie about that.
"Well, well, I'll take a look. ”
Ran Xixi stood up, cleaned up the bowl of cold instant noodles, then picked up his wallet and coat, and hurried out the door.
She took a taxi to the cake shop, the location of the shop was easy to find, and the business was indeed very good, Ran Xixi waited in line for a long time to buy a new cheesecake.
It's strange that Zhan Ruijue actually likes to eat cheesecake, probably under her influence. Back then, when she was pregnant, she liked to eat snacks the most, and often asked Zhan Xingchuan to buy her cakes to eat on the way home, and this was the one she ate the most.
Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, sitting in a taxi in a daze.
In a daze, time flew by, and soon arrived in front of the familiar villa. After more than three years, standing here again, Ran Xixi has a feeling of being in a different world.
She was standing on the steps hesitating, Sister Li had already seen the taxi that had just left in front of the door upstairs, and hurriedly got down to open the door.
"You're here, great, as soon as you come, Rui Rui will be obedient to eat, and this little thing will listen to you. ”
Sister Li greeted affectionately, and took out a new pair of slippers while taking the cake box.
Ran Xixi hurriedly thanked her, changed her shoes, and walked in with her.
She couldn't help but look around, and she found that the place had hardly changed, and the layout and furnishings were exactly the same as when she left. Originally, she thought that as soon as she left, Yu Youwei would be eager to lose all the things here, redecorate, and clean up all her traces. What she didn't expect was that she didn't.
As soon as he saw her, Zhan Ruijue immediately dropped the toy, ran towards her, and hugged her legs, no matter who he hugged now, he could only hug his legs, because his height was so high, and he couldn't hold it anywhere else.
"I heard that you lost your temper at home and refused to eat properly, it was really disobedient. ”
Seeing that he was fine, Ran Xixi let go of a worried heart, but he still pretended to be straight and began to criticize Zhan Ruijue.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Zhan Ruijue had no choice but to let go of her hand, stood where she was and thought for a while, and then ran to the restaurant.
"As soon as I heard you say him, look, he took the initiative to go to the restaurant. Quick, go wash your hands, you eat together, I just reheated the dish, you taste my craft. ”
Sister Li said with joy on her face, as long as Zhan Ruijue is willing to eat well, don't tell a lie, she is willing to lie every day.
